Due to the plasma membrane being too small (only around 7.5 nm wide) so can't be picked up by the optical microscope.

Hope that helps :)

Why cant plasma be created in a lad?

Creating plasma in a ladle is challenging because the ladle is typically made of materials that cannot withstand the high temperatures required to generate plasma. Additionally, the controlled environment needed to sustain plasma is difficult to achieve in a ladle which is typically an open container. Plasma requires specific conditions, such as high temperatures and a gas or vacuum environment, which are not typically present in a ladle.


How can you measure the size of microscopic object using micrometer?

To measure the size of a microscopic object using a micrometer, you can place the object on a glass slide under a microscope and use the micrometer on the microscope to measure its dimensions in micrometers. Alternatively, you can use image analysis software to measure the object's size based on images taken with a microscope.


Can you see a bacterium that is 1 micrometer in size?

You cannot see microbes with the naked eye, hence their name. To see them requires magnification such as a microscope.


Why do you need a microscope or hand lens to see the parts that make up matter?

Microscopes and hand lenses help magnify the tiny parts that make up matter, such as atoms and molecules, making them visible to the human eye. Without this magnification, these microscopic particles are too small to be seen.


Why cant we see the molecules of water moving around?

The movement of water molecules is too small and fast to be seen with the naked eye. Additionally, the individual molecules are small and transparent, making them difficult to observe even under a microscope.
